Apparently, if you poach very fresh trout with the slime still on in acidulated (added lemon juice or vinegar) water it turns bright blue and is considered a gourmet treat. Has anyone actually tried this?
On the same subject, has anyone found a good, lightweight, backpacking frying pan? I bought the no-stick-coated titanium frying pan at REI for use over a SnowPeak propane stove. It's featherweight and decent size, but two thumbs down. It smells like burning plastic and doesn't fry like a normal frying pan.

I have poached fish before and like them that way--I don't know about vinegar, I've used wine, lemons, onions and other stuff in water and they've never turned blue-I'll have to experiment with that one.
I bought a small frying pan from Cabela's-probably not as light weight as some, the handle came off or foldd up or something like that to allow for easier packing-it was large enough to fry smaller trout whole and larger ones that had been dismembered. Might check Cabelas.com and see if they still sell it-I've used it a lot and liked it.

I haven't tried it that way. Sounds interesting.
I have a thick 10" nonstick aluminum frying pan by Mirro with a folding handle. I think it was an REI special. It is very similar to my father-in-law's (the best cook in the extended family) favorite 12" nonstick aluminum frying pan. We used it to fry up four big trout we caught somewhere in the Enchantments a few years back.
I don't fish anymore, so it's been relegated to car camping duty. My kids have expressed an interest in fishing and my wife LOVES fresh fish, so I've been thinking about coming out of retirement
P.S. You might also check out GSI's Hard Anodized Aluminum frying pans. Backpacker gave them an Editor's Choice award and it's basically the same technology as commercial anodized aluminum pans.

I use a cheap, lightweight cake pan for a fry pan. Square is best to fit fish. You can get non-stick coating or not, your preference. I use one of those pincher handles that work on rolled edge pans for both the fry pan and my water pan. No sense carrying extra handles. I've never seen an actual fry pan nearly as light as the cake pan I use.

Brian, is your cake pan stout enough to be used on an open fire/coals or is it strictly for stovetop?

Been using 'em on the fire for years. Works great there and on the stove.

Sticks are good for cooking fish. They are cheap. Lightweight too. In fact you never have to carry them. Indians were using them for years.......
